I love a fine dining restaurant once in a while. Ferris had an old school reputation. I was surprised to walk in and find big screen tvs surrounding the bar and pop rock music playing. I didn't want a sports bar experience, but I can overlook some things if the food is excellent. At the prices we paid, this should have been the whole package, upper class atmosphere and memorable steak.
I swear to you our steaks were microwaved. I can not otherwise explain the flat grey look sans any juices when you cut into it and the blandness. A steakhouse baked potato is also something to look forward to, but even the potato lacked. I do not need an elaborate presentation, but the little filet and sad potato on my plate, well, maybe it couldn't be made to look any better but something, anything, parsley or a little veggie.
The wait staff kept asking us if we were okay where we were sitting. I finally asked why was everyone asking us that. We were seated back away from the views of all the tvs, they thought our party of 4 wanted to watch tv.
I can not see myself going back when we have had finer experiences for less $$ elsewhere.
